I would definetly reccommend trying some psilocybin (mushrooms). If you have a good handle one life it will just enhance your setting, not control your thoughts.
Yeah, set and setting, an important point not mentioned yet.
Set= The expectations you have about the drug you are about to take, your notions, your attitude, your predisposed weakness and/or strength to addiction, your sense of reality
Setting= Any info you pick up from your senses around you. The place you are the people you're with. The chance of risk.
mdma, psilocybn, lsd etc. Are all drugs that are entirely dependent on "set" and "setting". If this is what you are looking for, go try some shrooms.
Mushrooms give a very subtle type of hallucination, they emphasize natural patterns and bring out outlines and variations of contrast. They do not out and out cause real hallucinations.
For instance, if you stare at a deep shag rug on shrooms, the pile may become increasingly thicker or more dense, suddenly becoming a forest of thick mangy fibers. Deep down you know its not real, you still have that sense of control over this drug.
Definetly look at patterns, aztec type art. get a bunch of art books or watch "The wall"
Try shrooms before acid, I agree acid is much harsher.
The point of this is that drugs can be a great way to find out what makes you tick, they have helped me figure out how my mind works many times in the past. If you are looking to LEARN, try a drug such as psilocybin, mdma, lsd, dmt, etc. Mind-drugs. If you are looking to get fucked-up, a body-drug, you are looking at feeling drugs like cocaine, speed, pain killers etc.
Don't touch heroin. please. The main premise of heroin is very simple, stop every single nerve in your body from producing a pain repsonse and voila a very unnatural feeling of bliss and addictive potential rivaling nicotine.
Oh yeah, take this advice at your own risk. I am not responsible for your actions. Do research on the net, don't talk to people, they just re-hash stupid wives tales.
When you think you've done enough research, do some more. Seperate truth from fiction and keep telling yourself.
If you ever get in a bad-feeling-
1. remove yourself from the setting you are in.
2. Get the hell away from people who are not on the drug you are on.
3. Stay the hell away from sober people if you are on a mind-altering drug. They will bother you, very much.
4. tell yourself: "I am under the influence of a drug right now. A drug that will wear off. This feeling is not permanent. I will feel normal tomorrow."
Let me know if I can give you any advice about anything else. I tried many "new angles of thought". Learned what I wanted to know, don't do anything any more like it. (Well not unless you count, caffeine, nicotine and alcohol)
